With dupe culture being so rampant, I enter trying out products knowing that c hemists and brands spend months and months creating specific formulations; so unless your favorite affordable brand copied the exact formula, products likely aren’t exactly the same. However, there’s value to finding ones that are similar—and sometimes, I end up liking the similar ones more than the originals.

e.l.f. clean means we go above and beyond EU Cosmetic Regulation and FDA requirements by voluntarily removing more than the required 1,600 ingredients. Both the blush and highlight are quite metallic in how they appear on the skin. The finish reminded me of the Nars Orgasm powder blush; the radiance isn’t glittery, but it definitely has shine.

Over the past couple of years, e.l.f has transformed from a brand known for just having affordable beauty products to one whose affordable beauty products rival high-end ones. We’ve all seen TikTok-viral videos of e.l.f products being exact dupes for ones four times the price, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve been hooked a time or two. With the launch of their Halo Glow line, they created contour, highlight, and blush wands that compete with similar, pricier ones that have went viral recently.

The blush and the highlight looked best using the brush. They are both super-buildable products, as I was able to start with a little and progressively layer on more to achieve my desired look. At first, I was a little worried the blush wasn’t going to show up, but adding another layer helped. Face Powder helps even your skin tone, absorb oil, set your makeup, and achieve flawless-looking skin. It comes in a variety of formulas, such as e.l.f. Camo Powder Foundation for buildable coverage; e.l.f. Halo Glow Setting Powder that veils the skin for a luminous finish and e.l.f.'s Prime and Stay Finishing Powder which sets makeup and keeps skin free of shine. You can also use face powder for touch-ups throughout the day. I’m happy to report that all three wands lasted the entire time without slipping or smudging. I maintained the brightening effects from the blush and highlight, and the snatch from the contour from the time I left to the time I got home. I definitely had to blot throughout the day, but not any more than I usually do as someone with oily/combo skin. That said, I think these products would work extra well on someone with dry skin. All e.l.f. products are free from phthalates, parabens, nonylphenol ethoxylates, triclosan, triclocarban, and hydroquinone.Rosé You Slay: Water (Aqua), Hydrogenated Didecene, Isododecane, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Squalane, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Dimethicone, Isoamyl Laurate, Hydrogenated Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer, Mica, Sodium Chloride, Synthetic Sapphire, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Propylene Carbonate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Tin Oxide.
